Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I found the game to be quite enjoyable, with the simplified graphics allowing for larger and much more complex cities, without impacting performance too hard.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
I assume it'll become better optimized over time though as the game is in beta so I can't knock it.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The sense of scale this city builder provides is unprecedented and the gameplay is quite addictive.
